From April 12–17, 11 members from Les Clefs d’Or Japan had the privilege of attending the Les Clefs d’Or International Congress in Sydney, Australia.
It was an inspiring five days filled with reconnecting with long-time friends, making new ones, learning from one another, and strengthening our global concierge network.
A special highlight for us was the participation of Mr. Shuta Takeuchi, who represented the Japan Section as a Young Concierge Award candidate for the very first time.
In the absence of any prior precedent within our section, Shuta approached every challenge with confidence and professionalism, proudly representing Japan on the international stage. We are extremely proud of his achievement and grateful for the new chapter he has opened for our section.
Our sincere thanks also go to Aman Tokyo for their outstanding support throughout his journey.
This remarkable congress would not have been possible without the exceptional leadership, preparation, and hospitality of Mr. Dean McWhinney, President of the Australian Section, together with his dedicated team and sponsors. From the moment of arrival to the very last farewell, everything was flawlessly organized.
After five unforgettable days, more than 500 members returned to their home countries inspired and motivated, ready to welcome guests from around the world at their concierge desks.
Vive Les Clefs d’Or!
